Terms

Last updated September 26, 2026

These terms cover your use of The Best Person, run by [Company legal name]. By verifying your number you agree to them, and to our privacy policy and SMS terms.

What you can do

Name up to three people you actually know in each group, and tell us a few words about why. Start groups you belong to and share their links.

What you agree not to do

  • Enter a number that isn’t the named person’s own, or anyone’s number without a good reason to share it.
  • Use The Best Person to harass, embarrass, spam or impersonate anyone.
  • Create fake ballots, use numbers you don’t control, or try to get around our limits.
  • Name yourself, or use groups to rank people cruelly.

We may remove notes, ballots or groups that break these rules, and block numbers that abuse the service.

What you send

Your name and the words you pick are shown to the people you name. You’re responsible for what you send. Please be kind; that’s the point.

If someone you named makes their page public, the words you picked for them can appear there. Your name appears with them only if your own page is public too.

Public pages

Public pages are optional and only for people 18 and older. By making your page public you confirm you are 18 or older. You can make it private again at any time.

No guarantees

The Best Person is provided as is. We try hard to deliver every note, but texts can be delayed or blocked by carriers, and we can’t promise the service will always be available. To the extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses.

Changes

If we change these terms in a meaningful way, we’ll update this page and the date above.
